In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and ghee. Rub the ghee into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Slowly add water to the mixture and knead it into a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the khoya, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, and cardamom powder to make the filling.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into circles. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle.
Fold the circle in half and use a fork to seal the edges. You can also crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. Once hot, fry the gujiyas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the gujiyas from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
